A black-and-white shot captures the magical moment of sunrise over the imposing Storr mountain range, with the iconic rock formation Old Man of Storr in the foreground. The photo shows the dramatic contours of these famous rugged mountains on Isle of Skye, looking out over the water, enveloped in a play of light and shadow.
The silhouettes of the mountains are sharply delineated against the light sky, with the Old Man of Storr rising out of the mountain landscape like a lone, jagged tower. Although the shot shows no colours, the light feels warm and subtle, beautifully capturing the gentle transition from darkness to day.
The texture of the rocks and the sharp lines of the mountain range are further emphasised by the monochrome palette in the otherwise more rolling landscape. The sky is almost clear, with some cloud strips and plume clouds breaking the emptiness and adding an extra dimension to the vast composition. The light is clearly reflected by the waters at the foot of the mountain, in which the wind that picked up while taking the picture is also clearly visible.
This black-and-white shot of sunrise over the Storr is both powerful and serene. It captures the timeless grandeur of the Scottish landscape in spring, where the light gently makes a path through the majestic and mysterious terrain of the Isle of Skye.
